Chapter 6: The Story of Willow Leaves

After eating, Xue Miao and I both sat down on the chairs and patted our stomachs and burped, looking satisfied.

"If you eat too much, you'll get fat. Xue Miao said with some remorse.

"One or two meals have little impact, and it will be reduced when I go back to exercise more. I comforted her.

"Liyan, accompany me to eat later. She brushed her hair and added, "With the black ball." "

"Okay, I've eaten a little bit too. "

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the Huangpu River shines with dazzling light. The two of them and a dog dragged a long shadow on the riverside walkway, and occasionally a fishing boat sailed by the river, a strong breath of life spontaneously emerged, and the sense of loneliness and helplessness that had been completely dissipated, perhaps, life should be like this.

Just when I was full of emotion, an inopportune voice sounded, "Liyan, it's been almost half an hour since we both left, and you didn't say a word...... Xue Miao frowned slightly and looked at me.

"I'm enjoying life, don't interrupt~~" I pretended to be deep, and there was a very pleasant expression on my face.

She was a little amused when she looked at me, and laughed out loud.

After a pause, his face suddenly became serious, "Liyan, can you promise me one thing?"

I was a little confused about her change in attitude, so I threw a puzzled look at her, "What's the matter?"

"Later... Don't... Is it okay to lie to me? Aren't friends supposed to be honest with each other?"

As soon as she said this, I felt even more inexplicable, I didn't deceive her. As a result, my expression became even more confused.

She seemed to sense my puzzlement, and just said quietly, "Your... Mobile..."

I understand, she may think that I turned off the phone because of her, maybe she will simply think that I annoy her, just when I turned on the phone and opened WeChat, her messages had popped up more than 20 pieces.

Xue Miao misunderstood, and she was too sensitive, but she felt that she should still explain it to her.

I stroked my hair, which was a little disheveled by the wind, and then looked her in the eye and said very seriously: "There are some things that I will tell you when I have a chance in the future, but I swear, the phone is really not turned off because it annoys you." As I spoke, I held out my index finger and pointed to the sky.

She let out a long sigh of relief, and her whole body became relaxed, and the familiar smile appeared on her face again, and a pair of small dimples looked particularly playful.

"Liyan, when are we going to leave for Qingdao?" Xue Miao suddenly turned the topic elsewhere.

I pondered for a while, I was obviously very sad before, but now I actually have a little attachment to this city. I don't know what caused such a change in my state of mind, maybe it was Xue Miao, maybe it was the decision to leave.

I can see the changes in the past few days, perhaps because I have been locked in a black box before, so I can't feel the brilliance and joy of the outside world.

Xue Miao looked at me frowning, and didn't urge, just looked at me quietly, waiting for my answer.

I gave her a relieved look, then leaned on the railing, looked at the fishing boat in the distance, and said slowly: "Let's leave tomorrow, if I don't leave, I'm afraid that I won't be willing to leave the city again." "

Although this city brings me some bad memories, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I want to forget them. Affectionate parting since ancient times, let's just leave it, I thought so.

"Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow. "

"No, you wait for me at 10 o'clock tomorrow at the Hujia Expressway, and I'll go to you after the last thing." "

"Well, okay, then I'll see you tomorrow......" After saying that, Xue Miao waved his hand to me and walked into the distance towards the sunset.

The golden afterglow sprinkled the streets and alleys of the city, and I quietly watched all this in front of me, and suddenly the idea of drinking some wine suddenly came to my heart, or at the last moment when I had to leave, I should get drunk for a while, so as not to leave too many regrets.

I sent the black ball home first, and then walked alone towards the bar street, where there was a bar called Sun and Moon, and I used to come here for a drink when I got off work late, and I would go back with a little bit of alcohol so that I wouldn't feel lonely in that empty room.

The décor of the bar is small and fresh, and the owner of the bar is also a very interesting young man, his name is Willow Leaf, a somewhat feminine name, but he is very masculine. In the past three years, I have only drunk 3 beers at most each time I have been here, and he was very impressed with me.

As soon as I entered the door, the boss cast a kind look at me, "Liyan, I haven't seen you for a long time......"

I sat down at the bar and said to him with a smile: "I'm leaving Shanghai, today may be the last time I'll come to you, so let's make me a glass of 'Aftertaste'." Liu Ye was a little puzzled, "Okay, why did you think of leaving, where are you going to go next?"

"Qingdao... Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and bartend. "I pressed him urgently.

When he heard my answer, he was stunned, as if he was thinking about something, and then he saw that his eyes were a little moist, he adjusted his mood, took me to the cubicle, and said very solemnly: "Brother Yan, can you help me inquire about someone after you go to Qingdao, her name is Qi Ming, just help me see if she is doing well, the brother will be grateful to you for a lifetime." "

I remembered the story I heard about Liu Ye before, he had a girlfriend who had been in love for many years, and then it seemed that because of the parents of both parties, the two separated, and it turned out that her girlfriend went to Qingdao.

I nodded to him earnestly, and then he went to mix the cup of "Aftertaste".

When the wine came, I took a sip gently, but I tasted a trace of bitterness, and I didn't know what the willow leaves had added to it. Because of the willow leaves, I gave up my desire to get drunk once, and I left the bar after that drink.

In the evening, Pub Street is more crowded. People of all shapes and sizes shuttle through this long street of bright lights, how many people like Liu Ye?

Back to the rental house, I sent a message to the landlord Lao Sun to agree to complete the check-out procedures at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, but the old grandson was very benevolent and directly returned the deposit to me with WeChat transfer, and asked me to pack up my things and hurry as soon as possible tomorrow, and the key was put under the flower pot at the door.

At night, I dreamed again, it was the same as before, but this time I grew up a little bit, the lights in the hut were brighter, and it was no longer the kind of way I couldn't get close, and I no longer cried in despair, but the darkness around me still didn't change, this should be the black hole in my heart.
